Surveillance nowadays needn’t mean employing on-site security. With remote surveillance technology it’s possible to install cameras which will begin broadcasting information upon being triggered – put simply, if an intruder is on-site in the early hours of the morning, you’ll receive a notification.

Recovering stolen items and theft prevention

It’s an unfortunate fact, but many building site thefts are undertaken by employees. In order to combat this, you should consider availing of the services of a private investigations company to provide employee vetting. Employees might not always be truthful when it comes to declaring previous convictions, but thorough employee investigations will ensure you only take on trustworthy individuals.

A good private detective should be able to get to the bottom of the chain of professional theft by using a variety of different techniques such as bugging and sweeping. Most PIs will utilise a combination of technology (like GPS tracking) and low-tech traditional methods (telescopic lens). 

The evidence acquired by a private detective can then by submitted to the police to be used in a criminal court, or used to settle either out of court or via the civil claims court. This can include photographic evidence of crimes being carried out.
